One of the most difficult aspects of rhinoplasty is changing the shape of a nostril.. The main deformities that we see are the following:

1-      The nostril is too wide or flared, with the long axis in a horizontal rather than a vertical direction.

2-      The nostril is too narrow.

3-      There is a notch or retraction along the superior border.

4-      There is an overhang of tissue along the superior border

There are several approaches to each of these deformities, and these are usually performed at the conclusion of the operation..
